    Mama no more

    So.... at what age can the baby chickens withstand 50 degree temps outside at night? Do I need to put a light on them? Mama gave up, and she's pecking at the babies. They are exactly 4 weeks old tomorrow. Oh and they're Cochins.

    Babies first walk... did the other ladies accept them?

    Ok... so I've been reading that mama's will protect their babies... at what point will they do this? I let Mama and the six chicks out today, really so she could get her dust bath, but also so the other hens could get a chance to show me how they feel about these babies. I really want to...

    Morning freak out!

    This morning, as soon as the sun came up my birds all started screaming like little girls. We went outside to check things out and the only thing different was the place that one of the birds decided to sleep for the night. Is this normal or was there something in the coop that got out before...

    Hematoma in a Weimaraner Anyone? Help?

    My poor puppy has a ruptured blood vessel in her ear. Well not in it but on the big floppy part of her ear. It is swollen and full of blood. Ice really helps reduce the swelling but then it just returns. It has maintained its size so it's stabilized and she isn't acting sore or like it...

    Rain

    My birds are so in love with the rain. What is is? They don't even try to get out of the rain ever. Their little toes are all red and you know they have to be freezing cold. And what about when they go to bed wet and it's in the 40's at night. Should I dry them?

    Eggs.... after injury?

    Once a hen is injured how long will it take her to lay again. Also I feel like I've heard that Marans will discontinue laying dark brown eggs after an injury. Is this true?
